Expert answer:Read the article, then
answer the questions in essay form. The answers to the questions should be incorporated
throughout your essay; this means that you should not answer the questions as a “laundry
list” of answers. Your responses should incorporate material from the articles and the
assigned textbook.

understand gender differences in deviant behavior? International Journal of Offender Therapy
and Comparative Criminology, 39(2), 151 – 166.
Questions:

How do our genetics influence our behavior?

Is it nature or nurture?

Does gender influence criminal behavior?

As we learn more about DNA will we learn more about human behavior? Why or why not?

How do neurotransmitters influence criminal behavior?

Formatting guidelines

 One inch margins on all sides

 Text should be double-spaced and left-oriented (“Align Text Left” button in MS Word).
Headings may be center-oriented.

 1-inch margins, double-spaced, 12 point professional font

 Correct grammar, spelling, and syntax

 Include a title page & a reference list

 If your assignment is a paper/essay:

o Start your paper at the very TOP (meaning the FIRST LINE) of the page.
o Your information (name, course, date) should be on a title page. The title page does
not count toward any page number requirements.

 Insert a page number at the bottom of the page.

 Save your file as a Word document (.doc or .docx) using this format:
LastNameFirstName_ClassNumber&Section_AssignmentTitle

o Example: CarterCherie_CRJU3000OL1_ArticleSummary2

 Submit your assignment via the Assignment function on Blackboard. Be sure to attach the
Word document as a file. DO NOT copy and paste your assignment into the textbox in
Blackboard.

 Your file must be saved in a format that I can open. Acceptable file extensions are doc, docx,
or pdf. If I cannot open the file, I cannot grade it; you will not receive any credit.

 All assignments must follow APA format. This includes proper formatting for summarizing
someone else’s words and direct quotes. Do not plagiarize.

 Do not quote/cite a source that you have not read. If you are citing a source that is also
citing a source, use the proper format (see the APA Lite document for further information).

 Points will be deducted if general writing rules are not followed. This includes, but is not
limited to, the following:

o Proper use of paragraphs and indentations. (Each paragraph, including the first, must
begin with an indent. Start a new paragraph when you change topics.)
o Proper use of spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
o Proper use of vocabulary. Having a strong vocabulary is important; however, do not
choose words simply because they “sound smart”. This becomes very obvious when
words are used incorrectly.
o Proper use of sentence structure. (Do not use run-ons, fragments, etc.)
o Proper use of paper structure (if the assignment is a paper). You should have proper
headings (such as an Introduction, a body with specific topics, and a Discussion or
Conclusion).

assignment—for example, why the topic or issue is important to criminal justice.
